Remodeled luxury home with views and a movie theater in Guachipelín – Villa Ónix San Rafael, Escazú, San José
About this property

Located within a gated community with private security in Guachipelín de Escazú, Villa Ónix is a three-level residence that balances functional architecture with a strategic location in one of the most sought-after residential areas of the Central Valley. Set on an elevated 1,054 m² lot, this 635 m² property offers panoramic views over the surrounding natural landscape, the urban skyline of San José, and the Heredia and Alajuela mountain ranges. Originally built in 2007 and fully remodeled in 2022, the home is positioned among Escazú’s luxury residences that stand out for combining expansive social spaces, contemporary finishes, and modernized technical infrastructure.

The main entrance opens into a vaulted foyer with brick-style finishes, where a focal wall in translucent backlit onyx stone creates a warm, illuminated atmosphere. A short step-at-level leads into the main social living room, characterized by PVC floor-to-ceiling windows with a European system, an alcohol fireplace, structured niches for art display, and a dedicated area for a formal dining room. To the side of the central living area, a cantilevered terrace featuring a balcony-like projection extends toward the treetops of the adjacent forest. The remodeled kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, a central island with a quartz countertop, and a separate coffee station. It connects through German-style glass doors to a closed dining terrace with insect-mesh screening and refined detailing in brava cane.

Guachipelín de Escazú offers exceptional location value, placing Villa Ónix within a two-kilometer radius of the area’s main educational, commercial, and health centers. Prestigious institutions such as Saint Mary School, Mount View School, and West College are just minutes away, providing convenience for family life. Urban shopping hubs like Distrito 4, Multiplaza Escazú, and Avenida Escazú provide quick access to financial services, retail, and dining—complemented by the proximity of healthcare services at CIMA Hospital. Immediate connectivity to Route 27 makes commuting effortless to Juan Santamaría International Airport, nearby corporate centers, and the Pacific coast.

The upper level houses the residence’s private areas, preserving the original almondwood flooring in the distributor hallway and bedrooms. The primary suite features a private balcony with wrought iron railing, air conditioning, a double walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, a separate shower with a glass enclosure, and stone wall cladding.

Three secondary bedrooms share two fully remodeled bathrooms, arranged around a family television room and/or study space.

The ground floor is designed as a dedicated, self-contained entertainment area, centered on a home cinema zone with a motorized ceiling screen, a projector, and a built-in surround sound system. This level also includes a built-in bar unit with ice refrigeration and a beer dispenser, a full bathroom, and a private office separated by sliding glass doors, complemented by a custom library-style built-in and air conditioning. Folding German-engineered glass doors connect this space to a stone-paved terrace and a lawn area for outdoor activities.

The home’s infrastructure includes a complete service quarters area, a laundry zone, storage rooms, two half bathrooms for guests, a covered garage for two vehicles plus three additional outdoor parking spaces, and two underground water storage tanks with a hydropneumatic pump system.

Villa Ónix is a standout option in Costa Rica’s Central Valley real estate market for buyers seeking homes with valley and mountain views. Contact the Luxury Living Costa Rica team to arrange a private showing or to request additional technical information about the property.
